Not long now until i am up up and away!
Last week was ok workwise. Ended up working until 7pm Monday and Tuesday and 6pm Wednesday. Seemed to be a lot more support stuff coming through.
Didn't go to poker again on Tuesday.
Wednesday my iPad finally arrived. Yay. Had bowling that night, which i did okish at, so didn't really have any time to play with it.
Friday at about 4:30pm we had some work drinks here at work. Stayed until about 5:30pm then got the train to the Valley. Met up with SJ at the Mana Bar. The place is a lot smaller than i thought it would be but kinda cool. Only 50 people at a time can get in so it's not easy to get into. Didn't stay too long but was fun.
Saturday i did a heap of stuff at home and for trip. Walked to Valley for some last minute items. Saturday night i headed to a friend of a friends place for some drinks. Was a small group but was fun and we had some good chats/laughs. Left there about 10:30pm with plans to meet Emma at my place but she got held up at a party she was at so ended up not meeting up. Went to bed around 1am.
Sunday i slept in a little bit and then did more stuff around home for trip. I finally had a chance to play with iPad in afternoon so i put on some apps and set up some stuff. Sunday night i went to my sisters for a nice family roast. Was good.
This morning has gone fast with getting heaps done before i go. Hopefully the next 2 days go fast. Then no work for 9 weeks. :)
Mel is coming over tonight and we are going to dinner at Amanda's new place. Should be fun.
Ok, might grab some lunch. |

Hopefully this works. Using a new News Admin page i made on weekend to post this.
Work last week was ok. Got a fair bit done.
Didn't go to poker on Tuesday as i had a bunch of stuff i wanted to do.
Bowling Wednesday was okish. We kinda sucked a bit. Did some more pre-bowling after and i did ok.
Thursday night i watched The Slammin' Salmon. Was pretty funny. Not quite as good as Super Troopers but good.
Friday night i just relaxed at home.
Saturday i spent the day doing stuff at home. Made a small webpage so i can easily post news posts while i am travelling. Also did some grocery shopping. In the afternoon Amanda visited for a bit. I then went to her place in Toowong later for dinner and we watched The Slammin' Salmon (it was funny enough to rewatch).
Sunday i got up early and headed to Archery. Was quite a large group (about 30) and mostly kids. We got our gear and learnt how to use it a bit. Then we split up into 3 groups and did some shooting from 5m while they told us what we were doing wrong. Had a break and then we did some more 5m shooting before moving back to 10m. At the end we had a bit of a competition. I made it through the first round with about 7 others and then came 2nd. I really enjoyed it and am considering taking it up as a sport. They have a 2 day Beginners Course in October after i get back so will do that.
After that i drove to Amanda's and we headed to Oxley to collect a table to bought. Stopped in at Digi's on way home and had a nice chat with him and Kelwyn. Went back to Amanda's and put the table/chairs together.
I then headed home at 5ish and grabbed bowling gear and went and bowled 2 more pre-bowl dates. Only 2 to go. I did pretty good for them too.
This morning has been ok. Got lots to get done today/tomorrow. Also gotta sort out what i am doing for election as i will be away when it's on.
Ok, might grab some lunch and get back to work. |

Well, here we go for another week. Not long now until no work for 9 weeks. :)
Last week was ok. Kinda quiet week with some people not being here for the whole week or some of it.
Went to poker Tuesday and did a little better than i have been last month or so. Still ot that good but better.
Wednesday was Origin game 3 so no bowling. Was an ok game. Pretty close but we won.
Thursday we had our yearly reviews. Was pretty relaxed as it normally is and went fine.
Didn't do much Friday night and had a kind of early night.
Saturday i got up earlier than normal and started planning for party. Went out around lunch time and got booze and groceries.
Mel came over mid-afternoon and then Emma stopped in briefly before heading to another event. Steve and Amanda came over 6ish and we got some pizza before everyone else arrived.
It was a fun party with heaps of people and a good mixture. Everyone seemed to have a blast. At some point my recent collection of cap guns was brought out along with my "police" costume with solid body armour (with thick foam inserts). I then spent the next 30 minutes getting punched in the chest by pretty much everyone. But the foam seemed to protect me pretty well and apart from a dull slightly bruised feeling today, i came off pretty good. :) The things you do when drunk and having fun at home.
The last of the guests headed off 3am or so and whoever was left crashed for the night/morning. 1 who left earlier in night came back around 4am and crashed the night. We all slept until lunch time or so then had some pancakes. We also did a clean up but it was mostly done due to having heaps of boxes around room. After they left i had a quick nap and then Amanda got a cab over to collect her car. Had an early night and feel ok today. not actually tired on a Monday for once. :)
Trip is getting closer to getting down to last minute sorting of money and gear and plans.
Work should be ok this week. And hopefully my iPad arrives in next day or so.
Ok, back to work. |

Poker Comp Weekend |

Last week was ok. Was a bit sick during a lot of it which sucked.
Monday afternoon is got worse and worse with cold. Hoped to get rid of it Monday night but it would not go away.
Took Tuesday off and slept most of day. The cold seemed to be mostly gone by end of day but not 100% gone. Obviously no poker that night.
Wednesday i was still a bit flu-y and a bit weak. But got better as the day progressed. Didn't do that well at bowling though.
Thursday i did some stuff at home and relaxed. Talked to Amanda at one point because she had a big fight with her boyfriend and they broke up. Not surprising as he has been causing problems with her for a few weeks now and she was not that happy. He moved out on weekend so she is looking for a new flatmate.
Friday night i didn't do much.
Saturday i slept in a bit. Amanda and Jess came over on way to a festival. I dropped them off in Amanda's car then used it to do my grocery shopping. Went and prebowled 6 games in afternoon but the lanes were weird and i kept getting too much spin. My scores were not that high which sucks. Relaxed Saturday night at home.
Sunday i headed to Moreton Bay Sports Club around 10am for a big poker comp i qualified for by winning 1 night in my weekly games. Waited 2 hours while they got everyone registered and then played and was out in about an hour. Nothing i tried seemed to work and luck did not seem to be on my side. Oh well. Didn't do much in afternoon/evening.
All in all, a relaxing weekend but an ok one.
This week will probably be busy. I am back on support which is never fun but needs to be done.
Ok, better go eat and then get back to it. |

Last week was ok. Went pretty fast and was pretty busy.
Tuesday was poker night. Did a little bit better but still on my "losing" streak. :)
Wednesday at bowling we did ok. Got 2 more points from the 4. Still leading the league by a bit. After League i bowled another 3 games as pre-bowl. Did ok.
Friday was a nice day. Morning went fast (and had some cake from 2 birthdays) and then i went to lunch with the 2 bosses to celebrate 5 years. Went to a nice steak place called Embers on Park Rd for a few hours. They are also getting me a gift and asked me what i wanted. Had a think but could not think of anything i needed. And didn't want to just get flights or money or anything cause i wanted something i could look at and say "5 years". Ended up deciding on an iPad cause it was something i would like to have, but not something i would ever buy myself. Hopefully get that soon.
Also found out on Friday that one of the developers is leaving in 2 weeks.
Friday night was fun. Amanda came over and got ready before heading into Valley for night. Emma came over as well and we went Ice Skating at Boondall. Got some Maccas on way too. We had a heap of fun as i had not been in like 5 years and she had never skated so we both kinda sucked. It was pretty packed with heaps of kids and teens. Buy the end of the night i had my legs back mostly and Emma was getting the hang of it. We plan to go back soon.
After that we watched some shows at my place. Amanda stopped in for a minute to say hi and grab her car.
Saturday was a relaxing day, slept in a bit and then did some stuff around house and watched some movies. Didn't do much that night either. Also baked some more biscuits.
Sunday i headed to parents and helped them transfer files from old PC to new one and setup the new one a bit. After that i did some shopping then tried to pre-bowl but there was a comp on. Relaxed for evening.
Today has been ok. Feel a cold coming on but hopefully heaps of water will stop it. Might try to pre-bowl tonight if i am not sick.
Just had some yummy cake (from one of the Friday birthdays). Also brought in some biccies and everyone seems to like them.
Ok, better get back to work and then lunch. |

Last week was a pretty busy week. Lots to do and not much time. But at least the days go fast. Monday was a public holiday so it was a short week.
Tuesday i went to poker and got out early again. Not doing to well of late but still fun.
Wednesday was Origin game 2. Went to Aarons and had pizza and watched the game. Was an enjoyable game and QLD dominated.
Thursday night Emma came over for a bit and we caught up.
Friday i ended up working until 6:30. Then just missed train. Kinda annoying but better to stay back and get it done then have heaps to do first thing Monday.
Saturday i headed to parents early and dad and i went PC shopping. Ended up getting a HP from WOW. Took it home and set it up but i had to leave. Dad should be able to setup everything else.
After that i headed into city to the travel doc and got my vacinations. Got 2 needles. Didn't hurt but my upper arm muscle was a bit dead rest of weekend. Relaxed for afternoon/evening and Amanda stopped in for 5minutes.
Sunday i went and prebowled 2 dates (1 for next Origin game, 1 for first wed of my trip). Need to do 8 more before trip so will do 1 after wednesday games and maybe 2 each weekend. I actually do heaps better when bowling by myself and for the first 3 games i averaged 156, and for the 2nd lot of 3 games i averaged 185.
After bowling i went to Chermside and got myself a new chain (old one has had a broken clasp for years). Also grabbed some groceries.
Went and saw The A Team last night with Warwick. Was quite crazy and funny.
This morning has gone pretty fast. Nearly lunch time. Hope rest of week goes fast too.
It was my 5 year anniversary at Q2 Solutions yesterday. Wonder if the boss will do anything. He mentioned it kinda a week or so ago.
Anyways, better get back to it. |

Well, it's Tuesday already. Yay for long weekends.
Last week was ok. Went pretty fast.
Poker on tuesday was terrible. Was amusing but i only lasted like 40minutes. Oh well.
Wednesday night at bowling was good. Played ok and we got 3 points (i think). Then i stayed back and pre-bowled 3 games for this week (cause of Origin). I will be doing a lot of pre-bowling over next 6 weeks to cover when i am away. Did pretty good at pre-bowling too. I tend to do better when bowling by myself. And much faster too.
Saturday i slept in a bit then went grocery shopping. In afternoon i went and got a new AV Sender (5.8Ghz with 4 inputs) to replace my current 2.4Ghz one that gets a lot of interferance. The new one is awesome and no interference at all. After that i met up with Megan and Michael at Urban Climb in West End and did about 2 hours of Indoor Rock Climbing. They didn't have anyone free to train me on Belaying (the part where the person at bottom holds rope) but the other 2 knew it so we swapped around and all had a decent climb. It was fun but hard work. I'll do it again for sure though.
Sunday i baked some Hokey Pokey biscuits and then went to Indro and did some more shopping. In afternoon i went to Kedron for a 9-no-tap bowling comp. There was only 9 people in it but after 6 games i managed to win it. Got $200 so thats cool.
Monday i went to my parents in morning and spent 5-6 hours helping dad cut the top half off 2 big trees. They were not easy to get to so it was hard going and i have sore muscles and many scratches. Megan and Michael came over later and we all had a nice dinner.
This week should go pretty fast. Got heaps to do. Also only a 4 day week.
Ok, back to it. |

Tattoo and Rifle Shooting Weekend |

Here we go for another week. Hopefully it's a good one.
Before i start talking about last week, i wanted to mention something else. 2 weeks ago I got a tattoo. It covers most of my right upper arm and shoulder but stays above the sleeve level so it's easy to hide. It's all black and kinda in a diamond shape (except flat at top). Kind of a tribal look to it but more straight lines so it has a technological feel. It also has 24 small circle things which are of a cropcircle nature. At the top is the 8 side shape that i like. It has the #24 all through it and represents me i think. Logical, Ordered, Patterns, Symmetrical, Technological, yet Complex enough to border on Artistic and a little bit Chaotic.
I thought about getting a tattoo about a year ago and been toying with the idea since. Designed a heap of different ideas before eventually choosing one about 5-6 months ago. Refined it a bit after that. Was going to try and do it before my 30th but ran out of time so i didn't end up egtting it done until May the 22nd. Went to a place called Wild At Heart in the city and they are one of the top ones around Brisbane. Got there at 10am and was there for over 4 hours. It was done by a guy named Scott and it was actually kinda fun. Interesting talks with the people working there and other customers (which ranged in every type with sex/age/look). Didn't really hurt that much. The inside of the arm and far outside were the worst because the skin is less sun-damaged so more sensetive but even that is bareable for the short time it took. Scott spent about 2/3 of the time doing the outline and filling in was much faster and better i found. Ended up costing me $600 which is exactly what they quoted so that was good.
Wasn't really sore or anything after. I changed my sheets to crappy ones because for the first few days it was seeping ink and was covered in Paw Paw ointment. After about 2 days the ink stopped coming out and it healed up a bit. Kept putting ointment on each day to keep it flexible and was ok. The worst part came about a week after when it started itching. For about 3 days it was itching so bad it was making me insane. :) Luckily that passed and then it was all good. Still a little bit of dead skin on it but in a week it should be all done i'd say.
So yeah, i now have a tattoo. Not many people know at this stage but i am sure more will soon as i won't be hiding it as much. I wanted to show parents/sister before i started telling everyone. Only about 5 others know already. I don't regret it at all and think it came out great. I think it will add just that little bit more spice to my life and depth to my character and i think thats a good thing. Anyways, enough about that for now.
Ok, back to it. Last week was ok. Went pretty fast and kept pretty busy.
Tuesday night i did pretty crap at poker. Maybe 20th.
Wednesday night at bowling we weren't playing anyone (only 7 teams so happens every now and then). You just have to beat your average minus 10 so we did that for 2 games and got 3 points. We are still leading the league by about 5 points.
Thursday night Megan came over to collect Meavy. She was running late so could not take her right then but ended up coming back around 11 and grabbing her then. It was funny, Meavy ignored her a bit at first and paid more attention to me. It was nice having her for a few weeks but it's too much worry having her at my place. I also showed her my new tattoo and she was surprised.
Friday night i worked back a bit to help out with a support issue. Spent the rest of the evening relaxing.
Saturday morning i drove out to Belmont to the shooting complex they have there. A friend Steve and i did 2 hours of Rifle shooting. They have a intro day every first Saturday of the month and it's only $25. First we did 50m .22 laying down shooting. They have these cool electronic displays next to you that show where you hit. We were both about the same and weren't too bad. Mine were grouped close but a bit off centre. After that we moved into a long room with 10m air rifle shooting. We did this one standing up and shooting small metal cups 10m into carboard targets (quite small ones). Standing up is quite a bit harder than laying down as you stand sideways and balance gun on fist and elbow on hip. It moves around so much but we both did ok again. All in all it was good fun. We both want to do Pistol shooting and Clay Pigeon shooting too and will probably do the rifle one again (they have a cheap friday night session each week too).
After that i headed to the city (via Jaycar) and did some shopping and had lunch. I also stopped in at the tattoo place and showed them how it came out. Didn't do much for rest of afternoon/evening.
Sunday was a relaxing day. Slept in then headed to parents for lunch. After lunch i showed them my tattoo. When i said i had got one they were surprised but ok. When i showed them it they were surprised at the size and were expecting something smaller. But they reacted better than i thought which is good.
This morning has been a bit busy and gone fast. About to grab some lunch then get back to it. |

Last week went pretty fast. Was busy for the most part at work.
Monday night i met my parents at my sisters place and swapped cars around. I got mine back and we parked my sisters there. After that i has some HJs then went to bowling to pre-bowl for Wednesday.
Tuesday night was Poker. I did okish and came 12th.
Wednesday i called in sick and spent most of day in bed avoiding getting the flu. Seemed to work. Also watched the Finale of both 24 and Lost. Lost was a very sad ending but i enjoyed it.
Wednesday night i headed to Aaron's (via bottle shop) for a BBQ and to watch the first game of State of Origin on his projector. It was an ok night and not a bad game.
Thursday night was just a relaxing one. As was Friday night (except for stopping in city to collect contacts).
Saturday i slept in and did stuff around the house. Watched a few movies. Amanda stopped by briefly to drop back some blankets she borrowed.
Sunday i slept in a bit again and then went over by airport to DFO for some shopping. Got some new sports singlets and socks. Grabbed groceries too. Relaxed for afternoon/evening with more movies.
This morning i went back to dentist and had my mercury filling replaced with a better one. Mouth is still a bit numb but it's all done now for a while.
All in all, a quiet weekend but i plan to make up for that with next few. Meavy should be heading home during week so i'll have house to myself again.
This week should be ok work-wise. Hopefully be good at night too.
Anyways, time for lunch. |

Last week was ok. Pretty busy but went fast.
Tuesday morning i went to the destist for a checkup. Also got a filling as i had lost a bit of tooth a few weeks ago. Ran out of time to check x-ray results but they called me later and said they might need to do another filling (or might have been replace the metal one i have) so i am going back on 31st. At night i came 11th in Poker. Played ok but luck didn't go my way towards end.
Wednesday i did ok at Bowling.
Friday night Emma came over for Pizza and we watched some shows and hungout.
Saturday morning i went into city and did some stuff. Relaxed for afternoon and Emma came over later to wait for a call from her brother to need to be picked up from Valley.
Sunday i slept in and relaxed all day. Did some stuff around house. Amanda and Kris came over for 5minutes in afternoon to swap birthday presents. She got me a cool toy RC Helicopter. Played with it a bit and it's hard to fly but fun.
Also found out last night that a guy i met like 10-15 years ago, via William's brothers, died on Saturday night. Collapsed at the wheel driving home from Valley. I had not seen him in years and year but then he was at a friends BBQ a month ago and we chatted and played darts all night. Really happy and great guy and it's sad that he's gone. RIP Darren.
This morning has gone pretty fast so far. Swapping my sisters mini for mine tonight and then pre-bowling due to Origin game on Wednesday.
Anyways, might have lunch. |

Meavy Comes to Visit |

Last week went pretty fast. Had heaps to do and got heaps done.
Tuesday night at poker was good. I seemed to do okish and then nearly got out once we got to top 16. Won a few big hands and went to the main table as chip leader (just). Sat back a bit until about top 4-5 and then won a few decent hands and ended up with way more than everyone else combined. Ended up the top 3 was me, Jordan (region leader for season) and Janyll (venue leader for season). Knocked Janyll out and then fluked a win with Jordan (though i was way up on chips compared to him anyways) and won the night. Won a $30 Coffee Club voucher and a ticket to Big Bucks (big event in July).
Wednesday night at bowling was not too bad either. Got 224 for first game. But then got 100 for 2nd. 3rd was about my average. So overall i did well. We only 1 the first game though but we are still leading the league.
Friday night Emma came over and got ready to go to dinner/drinks in Valley. She was going to come back later and crash at my place but ended up staying at someone elses and coming back in morning. Megan came over around 7 and dropped off Meavy for 2-3 weeks while she is travelling around NT with Michael. Michael came later and picked her up so she could leave Smurfette with me as dad is stealing my car.
Saturday Emma came back and we had breaky and relaxed for a bit. Spent the rest of the day relaxing with Meavy who was a bit quiet and hiding often.
Sunday i did some stuff around house and relaxed. Mum and Dad came over at lunchtime after walking across the new Gateway bridge and stayed for an hour or 2. Emma came over in afternoon and we watched some shows and had dinner.
Today has been busy so far and i think will go fast. Think rest of week might slow down a bit after today but thats ok. Still heaps to do.
It's interesting having Meavy around. She has started coming out of hiding more now that she is used to place a bit. I am keeping her out of the garage but she has rest of house to explore. She is coming up to the bed in mornings until i feed her now too. Had a bit of a heart attack once so far when i could not find her after looking for about 10minutes. She found out she can crawl under bed and through a rip and get inside the ensemble and i checked there but she was right in corner so didn't see the sag until about the 3rd time i checked. She seems to like hiding inside the bed which kinda sucks as it's impossible to get her out. Oh well. I think she is enjoying the new places to explore.
Anyways, might have some lunch soon. |

Last week was ok, went pretty fast and finished off a bunch of work. Only a 4 day week too.
Poker Tuesday night i just couldn't get any decent cards all night. I lasted a while but that was cause i hardly played any hands. Was kinda crappy.
Wednesday night at Bowling we won 3 of the 4 points. I played 1 avg game, 1 good game and 1 crap game.
Thursday was mum's birthday so i headed over to Southbank and met up with parents, sister and Michael for some dinner then a ride on the big wheel. Was interesting.
Didn't do anything Friday night.
Saturday i did some stuff aroud the house. Cut up the last of the branches out the front. Digi stopped by and grabbed the bed i was giving away. I then went into valley and picked up my jacket and some more travel stuff. Then went grocery shopping and to bunnings.
Saturday afternoon/evening i went to Shawn's BBQ. We ended up moving inside when it got cold and fire wasn't working enough and Rachel and i watched some movies while Shawn and Jerds built Jerds' new PC. Watched Clerks 2, Stick It and Gone in 60 Seconds. I headed off around 12-1. Would have been earlier but when i was considering leaving after 2nd movie we used Shawn's breathalyzer and i was 0.075 so i watched the 3rd movie.
Sunday i slept in a bit and spent most of the day relaxing and watching a whole season of a funny comedy called Community. Also hung a new white rop light around roof on balcony to replace the old one that died when i pulled it down (so they could do work on balcony). Still waiting on them to paint the balcony section they replaced before i can put the other lights back up.
It was also Amanda's birthday Sunday but she didn't do anything for it and Mothers Day but i already gave mum her present as part of her birthday gift. I messaged them both on Sunday too.
This morning has gone pretty fast and now it's lunchtime. |

Last week was ok. Work wasn't too busy.
Poker on Tuesday was okish. I ended up at a table with 3 new players and 2-3 players that thought they knew the rules and were awesome players and weren't really. So spent most of night correcting mistakes and the game was quite slow going. Did oksih and came about 13th.
Wednesday at bowling i did good and we won 3 of the 4 points. Still in 1st place so yay.
Thursday night i went to Indro for dinner and to see Iron Man 2. Really enjoyed the movie. Easily as enjoyable as the first one which i love.
Poker night Friday night. Had 6 of us and was a good night. Won 2nd game so came out ahead in money. Finished up just after midnight.
Saturday I slept in a bit and then did some stuff around house. The 2 Steves stopped in to grab some stuff they left at poker and then Amanda/Kris came over and grabbed most of her stuff (everything except bed). After that I walked into Valley and got some more gear for trip including a $400 jacket. Came home then walked into city, got presents for mum/Amanda and got train home. Emma came over for dinner and we watched some tv for a while.
Sunday I drove up to Caloundra for the poker comp. Only took an hour to get there. There were about 400 people playing I think and I had an ok table of people. Played ok, won some, lost some, made some good and bad choices. There was 1 hand that I nearly played my Kings but folded and I would have lost to a flush. Then right before break I had same hand and same guy had same hand and I made same choice. Both times I got away from being knocked out. After first break (1.5-2 hours playing) I needed to take more chances and some of them didn't workout. Got moved to another table and first hand I went all in with good cards and was beaten. Left there around 3pm and got home 4:30.
Emma was heading into Valley to meet up with some people and invited me along. She came over 6ish and we had some drinks until 8 then headed in. Met up with the 2 girls she was meeting (and 3 other girls) at the Wickham and had a drink before heading to an event called Fluffy (gay event) at the Family. Left there around midnight at went to the Beat for a bit before Emma started feeling a bit sick so I walked her and Chloe (a cool Rockabilly lesbian chick who I spent most of night chatting with) to the train station to see Chloe off and then walked Emma back to my place.
Monday we both slept in until like lunchtime before Emma headed home. I relaxed for afternoon/evening.
This morning was interesting. Got to work and there were fire trucks everywhere and people outside. Waited 30mins before they gave us the all clear but warned that there might be a bit of smoke on level 5 (our level, where small plant room fire was). Was a bit hazy but not too bad. Then our network wasn't working cause a UPS had died. Finally started working around 9:30.
Only a 4 day week so should be ok. Mum's birthday this week too.

Anzac day long weekend. Yay. 3 days off.
Last week at work was ok, kept pretty busy and it went fast.
Tuesday night at poker i was having fun but not really concentrating so ended up getting out early. Oh well, still had a fun night.
Wednesday at bowling we played the team we were tied first with and won all 3 games. My car would not start due to flat battery but i got a lift from Warwick and put battery on charger.
Friday i got stuck at work with a support issue until around 5:30. Thats the 3rd week in a row. When i got home i re-arranged the garage and moved all Amanda's stuff to the front in preperation of her moving into a new place and taking it all.
Saturday i did some stuff at home and then went grocery shopping. In afternoon i pruned back a massive weed/tree/bush out the front and then i headed to Rochedale South for a BBQ for Glen's birthday. Was a fun night of catching up with old friends and playing darts.
Sunday i slept in a bit then wandered into valley to checkout from travel stores. Unfortunately i forgot they were all closed for Anzac day. In afternoon i went to my si | |
